Virus(es) From Msn Messenger

I just got a new laptop about a month ago and it seems to have gotten infected!! It's running on Windows XP home. I mistakenly clicked on a link in an instant messaging window (MSN messenger 7.0) that said "Is this you?", followed by a link with my email address at the end of it. I clicked the link, and now there are problems in the computer. I tried to read up on it at different websites but they all say different things about the viruses and I'm not sure how to properly get rid of them. I've done ad-aware and deleted the critical results (what it recommended). I can't install spybot or McAfee Stinger properly. I also did Bitdefender, which returned about 5-6 results that said either they couldn't be deleted or that they couldn't be disinfected.. two worms were found in this one - Win32.Worm.Chod.J and Win32.Worm.Chod.K. I then did Housecall, which allowed me to disinfect Win32.Worm.Chod.J, but there was nothing about Chod.K. All of the scanning programs were done in safe mode, since some of them didn't work in normal mode. So, here's my hijack this log. Hopefully you can help!!

BC AdBot (Login to Remove)

Please download MsnVirRem.zipand save it to your desktop. Once in place, right click the zip file, and extract the files to your desktop. DO NOT RUN ANYTHING YET

Restart your computer and boot into Safe Mode by hitting the F8 key repeatedly until a menu shows up (and choose Safe Mode from the list). In some systems, this may be the F5 key, so try that if F8 doesn't work.

In the new MsnVirRem folder, that you should have on your desktop, double click MsnVir.bat and let it run its course. A DOS window should pop up, Let it run until it disappears, it is scanning your computer so it will take some time.After it disappears, reboot back into normal mode, and post a fresh HijackThis Log (you should now be able to)Skate
